Arria 10 Preloader SPL Uboot Error

Hi Richard_P,

Since you are booting up with sd card. Referring to the building bootloader document for Arria 10

under section Build SD Card Image. u-boot-splx4.sfp will be considered as well along with other files before packaged into a single sdcard_a10.img to be written into the sd card.

I noticed you are using older uboot 2014.10. The bootloader build flow was different from the latest flow found in rocketboards.

You can try with the prebuilt binaries from rocket board release, however I not sure Han Pilot board will work with those binaries which meant for Intel Arria10 soc dev kit. Anyway can try to consider the required uboot files for booting(u-boot-splx4.sfp+u-boot.img).

As for the configuration part, this file fit_spl_fpga.itb is required as part of the boot up to configure the DDRAM. Notes found from the Arria10 building bootloader document:

"

Arria 10 FPGA configuration is done in two steps:

• Configuration of periphery: this allows HPS DDRAM to be brought up, and must do be done in SPL
• Configuration of fabric: it configures the actual FPGA core fabric, and can be done from SPL or U-Boot

"

Referring to the rocketboard release link below, you can also find prebuilt sdcard binary(sdimage.tar.gz), extract it and rename as sdcard_a10.img

Rocketboard release:

Thanks.
